Hi, I'm Maia.

(Pronounced Maya)

I'm a visually obsessed, native New Yorker, who's always searching for the coolest in design, food & travel. 

Over the last 5 years, I left a well established career in healthcare to pursue my passion for design and writing.  This website is my little piece of inspiration, thoughts & adventures as I seek out the most creative spaces  & experiences around the world.

I hope you find this inspiring & share with me what inspires you as well! I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!

xx,

Maia

An Australian Vacation Home

An Australian Vacation Home

I've caught up with several Aussie friends visiting NYC recently, and am now in love with the idea of visiting them in Sydney next year! I know I will be able to find inspiration everywhere, including the ocean, the architecture, and all the rare species on the island. Below is the vacation home of designer Shareen Joel of Share Design, on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. Her home does a great job at creating a sense of calmness and escape from city life with minimalist design and beautiful wood elements. 

Have any of you been on an Australian adventure? Any tips? Tell me in the comments below!
